Adopt Meadow

Cocker Spaniel · Female

Meadow is a beautiful 5-year-old female Spaniel, a lively and affectionate girl looking for her forever home. She’s full of fun and loves her walks where she walks beautifully on the lead, making her a wonderful companion for adventures outdoors. She also travels very well in the car, so she’d happily join you on days out and trips away. She has shown to be friendly with multiple dogs of different breeds and sizes, and on her walks likes to stop and have a brief sniff hello to the dogs that pass by. She has been off lead with a larger lurcher and did show some playfulness however was slightly worried by his OTT play so we think she would better suit a home with a calmer dog or as the only dog. She’s very people-oriented and absolutely adores cuddles and attention from her humans, she is very settled during the day in her kennel, but we would like her to go to a home where time alone can be built up. We think she could live with younger children due to her sweet, gentle nature but would like them to be confident around dogs as she is quick and can jump up out of excitement. Meadow is very food motivated, which will help greatly with her ongoing training. As she was found as a stray, we unfortunately have no history on her, and she does currently lack some basic training. Being a typical spaniel who loves to sniff and explore, she doesn’t have very good recall around distractions, so will need to be on a lead or long line until she has learned to come back. We think she would also benefit from having her own garden for this reason. All the staff and volunteers have fell instantly in love with this sweet girl, so if you have a spaniel sized hole in your lives… Meadow is waiting to fill it!

About Meadow

What life with Meadow looks like

Meadow is a adult cocker spaniel dog waiting at Pawprints Dog Rescue in Stretton-on-Dunsmore.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Meadow, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Meadow?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pawprints Dog Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Meadow on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Meadow if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Pawprints Dog Rescue will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Meadow already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Meadow isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Pawprints Dog Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Meadow and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
